Diversity in Leadership + Bias Poll Results

Town Hall Overview

The nation was not only going through a pandemic, but also seeing citizens across the country advocating for social justice.

The analysis from the February Chapter Meeting implied a greater need for awareness of bias and increased diversity and equity in firms. These questions were specifically targeted towards gender diversity in the workplace.

The polling questions focused on understanding how firms address equity, diversity, and inclusion through education and policies.

With the current political climate and growth of the social justice movement, the committee called upon a guest speaker to lead conversation regarding bias and equity. Dr. Sarah Gardial is the Dean of Belmont Massey School of Business and has spent her career advocating for equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace as a means of developing stronger and more profitable companies.
